the bio
Each of the Evergreen’s songs is a house. Open your ears for their grand entrance, step across initial sound into the foyer. Maybe it’s voice, maybe it’s acoustic guitar, maybe it’s a mesmerizing piano line, but however it starts it marvels and guides you deeper into the house. You glide into the bedroom quickly, smelling sturdy family furniture, the verses - tongue and groove - held together by the pressure of intimate secrets. Common confessions revealed in uncommon ways. Love not a bubble gum hallmark, but the inevitable resolution of loss. Finally lyrics with something to say spinning around, spinning you around, you stumble into the hallucinogenic hallway. Outside above you a strange air show, jets with propellers or biplanes with jets, birds with midi squawks and caws, you’re not sure, but you keep listening, straining your ears to get further into the sound. And then you’re in the kitchen, seeing it happen: a woman blows into a Melodica, men manipulate analog style synths, (electronic but not surgical, robotic but savvy), sticks dance across drum skins. A groove, a bottom line, a solid rhythmic frame on which to dance and dangle. The sounds separate, come together, expand contract, now the woman plays an accordion and the volume dissolves, the song volplanes, the house hovers above you, fades out and you stand alone waiting to step in again, to experience The Evergreen’s next song.
The Evergreen is a new band out of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Their songs have pop sensibilities, as they can handle a shiny hook, but each one resonates with an urgency and sophistication that pop music desperately lacks. Give them a chance and you’ll find what you’ve been waiting for, what you've been dreaming about. To press play, to walk into a room, to be stopped and unlocked by a new combination of sound, robbed of intentions, blinded by imagination and in each song a house you have never tasted.
